Custom Level Editor + Steam Workshop

The new Custom Level Editor is here!

Create your own survival maps, challenge scenarios, campaigns, starting layouts, enemy attacks, custom bases, dinosaur encounters, and more. Share your creations directly through Steam Workshop and download levels made by other players.

This update dramatically expands the amount of content available in Repterra. Instead of being limited to the built in maps, players can now create and share an endless variety of new experiences.

Already, a growing collection of community creations is being uploaded and shared through Steam Workshop.
